Well... believe that it doesnt get too much better..lol. Some pick it up a lot easier than others. Meka's almost 1 yr and 6 mo's and she still has accidents from time to time. I pad train her as well... The key to it is keeping your pup on a strict schedule. What I mean by that is making sure that you take her out 30-45 min after each meal. Its good to get her use to a phrase..like "go potty" or what have you. And when she does what she needs to do... praise her, praise her and praise her again..and a treat helps too 

 She'll get it... Just have patience and always keep an eye on her. Until she's fully trained, it will help her and your house to keep her close... Hope this helps
